About me
Life can feel heavy. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, carrying the weight of past experiences, or simply feeling unsettled in your day-to-day life, there can come a point where you need somewhere to pause, breathe and make sense of it all. Therapy can offer that space.
I work with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, loss, painful experiences, identity, generational trauma and the many things that can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves. Sometimes you may know exactly what has brought you to therapy; other times, you may simply know that something doesn’t feel right. You don’t need to have it all figured out before you begin.
As an Integrative Counsellor, I don’t believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all. I draw from different therapeutic approaches and adapt our work to the person sitting in front of me. Together, we can explore what’s happening beneath the surface, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and find ways forward that feel meaningful and authentic to you.
I also incorporate creative ways of processing where it feels helpful. Sometimes feelings don’t arrive in neat sentences. Art, imagery, music and metaphor can offer another way of exploring experiences that words alone might struggle to hold.
Relationships can also be complicated, particularly when two people are bringing their own histories, experiences, cultures, needs and ways of communicating into the same space. Sometimes the issue isn’t that you don’t love each other — it’s that you’re struggling to understand each other.
In couples and relational therapy, I aim to create a space where both people can feel heard and understood. We can explore communication patterns, recurring conflict, emotional needs and the experiences that sit underneath them.
A big part of my approach is helping partners translate each other’s worlds — making sense of what your partner may be trying to communicate beneath their words or reactions, while also helping you feel understood yourself. The aim is not to decide who is right or wrong, but to build greater understanding, compassion and curiosity between you.
Together, we can work towards communicating more openly, understanding each other more deeply, and creating a relationship where both people have room to be seen.
I aim to create a therapeutic space that honours all of who you are. My practice is culturally aware, LGBTQIA+ affirming and deeply human.
I’m particularly mindful of the experiences of people who may find themselves living between or within different worlds — whether that relates to culture, race, identity, sexuality, family expectations or simply feeling like there isn’t always space to be fully yourself.
You don’t have to perform, explain away or edit yourself here. You can arrive as you are — messy bits, contradictions and all.
Therapy isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about understanding yourself more deeply, making sense of what you’ve lived through, and finding a way forward that feels like you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
